<center><small>Here, [[Lacan ]] points to the [[dependence ]] of [[thought ]] and the [[unconscious ]] on the [[structure ]] of [[language]]. He pits this relation against the [[notion ]] of thought as grounded in a [[physical ]] anatomy imagined as an objectified and highly assumptive [[unity ]] of functions, a [[singular ]] [[body]]. Such a singularity of [[subjectivity ]] is predicated upon the [[chain ]] of [[intersubjectivity]], the bonds of [[civilization]], in which it aquires definition. Thus Lacan recognizes that the Aristotelian notion of the [[subject ]] as [[object ]] supplies, at the level of the [[intersubjective]], the means of its radical [[decentering]], viz. :
"the [[ex-sistence ]] [a holding [[outside]]] of one more subject for the soul."
In fact, the physical [[symptoms ]] of the [[hysteric]], the invasion and [[disturbance ]] of the body by obsessive [[thoughts]], how to behave, what to say, testifies to the fact that the only relation thought has to the soul-body is one of a differentiating projective ex-sistence.
Lacan argues that the [[concept ]] of [[The Subject|the subject ]] as a composite of thought and soul emerges from efforts to conform thought to the [[world]], for which, under the sway of the aforementioned [[social ]] bonds, the soul is held [[responsible]]. Lacan argues that the object of this responsiblity which passes for "[[reality]]" is, in fact, a [[fantasy]], a "grimace of the [[real]]", which simply serves an [[instinctual ]] [[purpose]]: the survivalist perpetuation of thought.</small><BR><BR><small>Subtitles adapted from the [[translation ]] by Denis Hollier, Rosalind Krauss, and Annette Michelson in '[[Television: A Challenge to the Psychoanalytic Establishment]]' - [[Jacques Lacan ]] (Norton, [[London]]: 1990).
